Today a lot more people are busier with their careers and families. Many do have multiple jobs in one day so are working almost 24 hours a day. They don’t have much time to read. Some people just work in a single job but they always are requested to do overtime. According to recent research, most of people work for 14 hours. They are tired when they return home. The energy level of reading is extremely low. They prefer to take immediate rest instead of reading.
For children, nowadays, they have a lot of homework. Besides homework, many parents require their children to take up some after-school activities such as piano class, private tuition, etc. So, children would prefer to have TV, video, computer games for relaxing than reading during the weekend. Portable electronic games are supposed to be becoming more popular than reading.
As well, teachers do not encourage children to extend their reading interest. They play much attention on textbooks instead of others like novels and poems. Children would take other activities as a hobby than reading. All these are the reasons why people have less time for reading in comparing with the past.
